"Last recorded" is intended to reflect what was previously observed on the machine.

Take a look at the book: "Systemantics. How systems work and especially how they fail" - a classic, has more observations like this.

Nickel vs. Nix? as I wrote, Nickel is a "statically-typed successor" - newer, created (in progress) by people with Nix experience, vs. Nix being dynamically typed. As to the rest - more or less yes, nicely put :)

Ahhhhh, I think I get Spherical Harmonics! I'll try to explain in simpler words, roughly, assuming I got them correctly (which I am not 100% sure about)... I don't guarantee it'll be ELI5 though, so it may or may not work for

Or also Rust, Zig, or Nim.

I did something similar in Nim and published it in 2020 (less pretty graphics however). The difference is that I went deeper and actually wrote an assembler for the Dalvik bytecode and .apk files: https://www.youtube.com/wat

Ok, but apart from just noticing it, how can I/we combat the normalization of deviance? I don't see practical guidance on how to do it in the article? Do I just sit down and throw my arms in the air, and complain "oh, how thi

"Sprytile" is the open-source Blender addon inspired by Crocotile. Seems last updated a few years ago from a quick googling; I never used either, so no idea how they compare or how Sprytile works with the newest Blender.

Does it support a practical stylus-oriented workflow? Can I use all its functions in a purely touch+stylus mode, without reaching for the keyboard at all? I'm looking for such a pixel-art tool, not aware of any at the moment. (Also, I&

Ok, so this interestingly connects in my mind with how older religions see it as important to teach their holy texts by heart (e.g., Jews learning the Bible, or Muslims learning the Koran): this article's claim seems to support the ide

There's a huge difference in the outcomes those can lead to, that's why it's not just a simple "laundering", but a serious gain. On top of that, C vs. Zig vs. Rust give you a different level of that gain still. The

Um, the very website you linked to seems to contain the following fragment: "(...) except for specified exclusions such as open-source software (...)" - wouldn't this mean that FOSS is specifically not at risk??? edit:

This reminds me of when I was a kid, and learning to write some C to "create games". At that time, things like functions were some vague and "magical" mechanisms that I had to adhere to because that is how things are. I
